Goldeneye may not be the most critically lauded Bond film but it's definitely my favourite. It acts as a reboot after Timothy Dalton's departure and as a throw back to the high times of the Connery/Moore era whilst updating its setting to the present. Brosnan was more than capable in the title role whilst Sean Bean chews up the screen as Bond's nemesis. It also helps that the action is terrific, the tank chase being the standout, whilst the enormo-satellite confrontation climax has all the hallmarks of what made Bond movies such as You Only Live Twice and The Man With The Golden Gun such a joy to watch.
They even filmed the thing in Technicolor to give it the look of a 60's film. And the Russians are still the bad guys. Good show.
4.5/5
